These are photos of the traffic girls of Pyongyang (North Korea). This is as much an art form as a functional part of traffic control. The shots here are from three visits - October 2008, September 2009 and August 2010 so you can see both Blue and White uniforms for summer and fall. If you look hard you will see the same controller photographed at the same intersection two years apart. In 2010 some of the lights were working and the traffic girls were sidelined.
